PART 1

by Kathy Wolfe Where do North Americans spend their money?

This week, Tidbits looks into the history of some of our most famous merchants. Part Two will appear next week.

• In 1907, Herbert Marcus founded a new business in Dallas, Texas, with his sister Carrie Marcus Neiman and her husband. They had a large amount of money available to invest, and chose to open a top-quality clothing store, turning down an opportunity to purchase a franchise for a new fountain drink called Coca-Cola. Within a few weeks, the store had completely sold out of its merchandise, as wealthy Texans hurried to purchase the store’s stylish fashions. In 1913, a fire destroyed the store and all of its inventory.

Seventeen days later, a temporary store opened, and in 1914, it was rebuilt, and remains the location of their flagship store.

• In 1926, Neiman-Marcus became the nation’s first store to feature a weekly fashion show, held in Dallas’ Baker Hotel. Between 1942 and 1944, their sales ballooned from $6 million to $11 million. It wasn’t until 1957 that a store was opened outside the Dallas area, when they expanded to downtown Houston. It took until 1971 to expand outside the state of Texas, when the Bal Harbour, Florida store was opened.

Today there are 41 Neiman-Marcus stores in 19 states.

FAMOUS RETAILERS (continued):

• Andrew Saks opened a clothing business in Washington, D.C. in 1867, and was so successful he began to expand to other cities. In 1902, he moved to New York and established Saks & Company on the corner of Sixth Avenue and 34th Street. When Andrew died in 1912, his brother took over the company, later joining up with Gimbel Brothers in 1922. In 1924, Saks Fifth Avenue opened, offering the finest expensive, upscale, sophisticated merchandise.

A silk top hat for President Calvin Coolidge was the first package out the doors. Saks soon became synonymous with quality and elegance.

It became the first specialty store to expand across the country, quickly opening stores in Chicago, Miami, and Beverly Hills. Today, there are more than 40 Saks Fifth Avenue stores across the country.

• Leon Leonwood Bean was a passionate outdoorsman who enjoyed tramping through the Maine woods. In 1911, after returning from several hunting trips with cold and wet feet, he hired a local shoemaker to stitch leather uppers to a rubber boot. He called his creation the Maine Hunting Shoe, and the following year he began manufacturing the boots in the basement of his brother’s clothing store.

• Bean marketed his boots by mailing flyers to hunting license holders, and was quickly inundated with 100 orders. Unfortunately, he experienced quality issues when the rubber bottoms separated from the leather tops. Ninety out of 100 pairs were returned. Bean borrowed money to refund each pair 100% and to correct the problem.

• By 1934, L.L. Bean had moved into a 13,000-sq.-ft factory and was close to the $1 million sales mark. His three-page flyer had grown into a 52-page catalog. More than 70% of Freeport, Maine’s mail was generated by L.L. Bean. In 1951, L.L. Bean “threw away the keys” to his store, changing operating hours to 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Their current 220,000 sq. ft. store continues the same hours, greeting more than three million visitors annually. The same 100% guarantee continues as it has from the day L.L Bean opened his company. Annual sales now exceed $1.5 billion.

• Founded in 1994, Old Navy had 500 stores by the year 2000. It was the first retailer to pass $1 billion in annual sales within its first four years in business. Old Navy is owned by Gap, Inc., whose founder was Donald G. Fisher, a 40-year-old real estate developer who became frustrated with his inability to find a pair of jeans that fit him. His successor Millard Drexler launched Old Navy, and named the store after a bar he had seen while walking in Paris. The first store opened in Colma, California, and within a year, 59 more stores had opened. In just eight years, there were 842 stores.

FAMOUS RETAILERS (continued):

• One of the nation’s top ten retailers isn’t located in a store – it’s Amazon, the largest internet-based company in the nation. Founder Jeff Bezos founded the company in 1994, working out of his Bellevue, Washington, garage. He called his company “Cadabra,” but changed it to Amazon the following year, believing that Cadabra sounded too much like “cadaver.” He also wanted his company to start with the letter “A,” since it would be at the top of any alphabetized internet search. It started out as an online bookstore, but Bezos soon made up a list of the five products with the most potential, which included CD’s, computer hardware and software, videos, and books. Today, Amazon’s global headquarters take up 14 buildings in Seattle with annual sales of about $75 billion.

• Rowland Hussey Macy opened four dry goods stores between 1843 and 1855, all of which, unfortunately, failed. Macy made the move to New York City in 1858 and opened a store on Sixth Avenue. His first day’s sales were $11.08 (about $301.47 today). Macy’s moved to a new store in 1902, a building that is now a National Historic Landmark. The annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade started in 1924, with its trademark giant balloons making their debut in 1927, with Felix the Cat as the first. By 1933, more than a million people lined the parade route.

As popularity grew, more balloons were added – Mickey Mouse in 1934, Superman in 1939, Popeye in 1976, and Hello Kitty in 1976. High winds on Thanksgiving Day, 1997, pushed the Cat in the Hat balloon into a lamppost, with the resulting debris striking a spectator, fracturing her skull, and leaving her in a coma for a month.

• Kroger’s, the country’s largest supermarket chain, got its start in 1883, when Barney Kroger invested everything he had, $375 (about $9,400 in today’s money) to open a grocery store in Cincinnati, Ohio. He had dropped out of school at 13 to help support his family when their dry goods store went bankrupt. He sold coffee and tea door-to-door until he was 20, when he became manager of a local grocery store. At 24, he opened the Great Western Tea Company and soon had four stores, later changing the name to Kroger’s. His success came by eliminating the middleman by providing as much of his own product as possible. In 1901, his stores were the first to bake their own bread, and three years later, they were the first to include meat departments in grocery stores. Years later, in 1972, Kroger was the first grocery store to test electronic scanners. Today, there are 2,600 stores in 34 states, generating annual sales of close to $100 billion.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

EDDIE BAUER

Eddie Bauer isn’t just a well-known, profitable retailer at the mall. Bauer was an avid outdoorsman who started selling sporting goods in a tiny Seattle store, as well as a renowned inventor. Take a look at the history of this man and his accomplishments.

• Born in 1899 to Russian immigrants, Eddie Bauer lived in a log cabin on Orcas Island, Washington, off the northwestern coast. Eddie learned to hunt and fish on the island at a young age. Dropping out of school after the eighth grade, he took a job at a Seattle sporting goods store as an errand and stock boy. Here he learned how to make fishing poles and lures, and how to refinish golf clubs and tennis rackets. By age 18, he was a department manager and was in charge of the front window displays.

• At 21, Eddie branched out on his own, renting a tiny space for $15 a month, naming his business “Eddie Bauer’s Tennis Shop,” where he intended to string rackets during the summer, while still leaving time for his beloved hunting and fishing during the colder months. A brisk business enabled him to expand his shop the following year, to which he added equipment for fishing, trapping, and golfing.

• Between 1934 and 1937, Bauer received more than 20 patents, including his first on a shuttlecock for badminton. In 1936, he patented the Skyliner, a down-filled jacket that was a huge seller. After experiencing hypothermia on a fishing trip, Bauer patent the first quilted down jacket in 1940.

by Samantha Weaver • You probably won’t be surprised to learn that when author (and noted wit) Oscar Wilde arrived in the United States in 1882, he told the customs officers, “I have nothing to declare except my genius.”

• A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.

• If you’re planning a summer vacation in Maine this year, you might want to keep in mind that in that state, it’s against the law to tickle a woman under the chin with a feather duster.

• Despite the fact that 95 percent of the world uses the metric system of measurement, we in the United States still stubbornly cling to the archaic units of measurement derived from the old British Imperial system. This hodgepodge ranges from the mile (originally the distance a Roman soldier could march in 1,000 double steps) to the foot (originally the length of Emperor Charlemagne’s foot, later “standardized” to the length of 35 barleycorns laid end to end) to a yard (the distance between King Henry I’s nose to his extended fingertips) to an inch (the length from the tip to the first joint of a man’s thumb).

• Brazil nuts do come from Brazil, but they’re not technically nuts; they’re seeds.

• When you think of the band ZZ Top, you probably think of long beards -- that’s become a sort of signature for them. The drummer, though, is beardless -- and his name is Frank Beard.

• A ground squirrel typically has a heartbeat of around 300 beats per minute. During hibernation, though, that drops dramatically -to only three or four beats per minute. *** Thought for the Day: “Those who will not reason are bigots, those who cannot are fools, and those who dare not are slaves.” -- Lord Byron (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• On April 12, 1633, the inquisition of physicist and astronomer Galileo Galilei begins. Galileo was ordered to turn himself in for holding the belief that the Earth revolves around the Sun. At the trial, he was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to recite once a week the Seven Penitential Psalms.

• On April 10, 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is founded in New York City by philanthropist Henry Bergh, who pleaded on behalf of abused workhorses. By the time Bergh died in 1888, 37 states had passed anti-cruelty laws.

• On April 6, 1896, the Olympic Games are reborn in Athens 1,500 years after being banned

by Roman Emperor Theodosius I. A crowd of 60,000 spectators welcomed athletes from 13 nations to the international competition.

• On April 8, 1935, Congress votes to approve the Works Progress Administration, a central part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal,” an expansion of the federal government as an instrument of employment opportunity and welfare. The WPA employed more than 8.5 million people on 1.4 million public projects before it was disbanded in 1943.

• On April 9, 1959, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) introduces America’s first astronauts: Scott Carpenter, L. Gordon Cooper Jr., John H. Glenn Jr., Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Walter Schirra Jr., Alan Shepard Jr. and Donald Slayton. The seven men were selected to take part in Project Mercury in 1961.

• On April 11, 1961, Bob Dylan plays his first major gig in New York City, opening for bluesman John Lee Hooker at Gerde’s Folk City. Dylan was too young to obtain the necessary union card and cabaret license needed to appear on a regular bill at Gerde’s.

One of the club owners, Mike Porco, signed as Dylan’s guardian.

• On April 7, 1970, the legendary actor John Wayne wins his first -- and only -- acting Academy Award, for his performance in “True Grit.” Wayne appeared in some 150 movies over the course of his long and storied career. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Bauer became famous in 1942 when the U.S. Army Air Corps commissioned him to create a jacket to keep World War II pilots warm at high altitudes, a parka that was to become known as the Bomber Jacket. Eddie Bauer also supplied backpacks, pants, and sleeping bags, which were standard issue for American troops. More than 50,000 flight parkas and 100,000 sleeping bags were sold to the armed forces. Eddie Bauer was the first independent company that the U.S. Army allowed to use their own logo on an Armyissued uniform.

• After the war, Eddie Bauer created a catalog that was mailed to 14,000 soldiers who had worn his products during their service. His mail order business was an immediate success, and he added women’s clothing to his catalog. By 1949, the company had 125 seamstresses.

• Over the next several years, Bauer continue to invent clothing for extreme weather conditions.

During the 1950s, he outfitted several expeditions, including a 1953 climbing expedition to the top of K2 and several journeys through Antarctica.

He developed parkas with a rip-stop nylon shell for climbers scaling Gasherbrum, the world’s 11th highest mountain. Jim Whittaker, the first American to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, was also outfitted in Eddie Bauer outerwear.

• Eddie Bauer sold his interest in the company in 1968 and retired, taking up dog breeding, and enjoying the great outdoors as he had his entire life. The company continued to prosper, partnering with the Ford Motor Company in 1983 to manufacture Eddie Bauer Ford Limited Edition vehicles.

Tidbits® of Bismarck SEARS & ROEBUCK • Back in 1886, Richard Sears worked as a station agent for the railroad in Minnesota. On the side, he sold lumber and coal to the locals for extra cash. When a shipment of watches for the community’s jeweler was refused, Sears bought them himself and sold them to other station agents along the railroad line. He ordered another batch of watches, which he promptly sold and soon after, he established the R.W. Sears Watch Company in Minneapolis.

• Within a year, Sears moved his business to Chicago. Badly in need of an assistant, he ran a classified ad in the newspaper for a “watchmaker with references who can furnish tools.” A young man named Alvah Roebuck answered the ad, and soon the pair, both in their twenties, established what would become America’s leading retailer.

• The first Sears catalog was published in 1888, an 80-page circular that catered especially to farmers, who could purchase supplies much cheaper by mail than from their rural general store. Six years later, the Sears catalog was 322 pages, and offered bicycles, farm implements, furniture, saddles, sewing machines, and sporting goods. In 1905, a person could even buy an automobile from the Sears catalog.

• In 1893, after six years in business, Sears’ annual sales exceeded $400,000. Just two years later that number had grown to $750,000. By 1941, annual sales were closing in on $1 billion.

• The current 110-story Sears Tower opened in 1973, when the company was the world’s largest retailer, employing 350,000. At 1,454 feet (442 meters) it was the world’s tallest building at completion, a title it held for 25 years. It remains the second-tallest building in the U.S., and the eighth-tallest in the world. The building required 76,000 tons of steel, 2 million cubic feet of concrete, 1,500 miles (2,414 km) of electrical wiring, and 80 miles (129 km) of elevator cable.

Sears sold the building in 1993, and today it is known as Willis Tower.

• From 1908 to 1940, Sears sold about 100,000 ready-to-assemble kit houses from 447 different housing designs. The kits were shipped by rail, with the average home containing 25 tons of materials and over 30,000 parts. In 1914, the price ranged from $550 up to $2,900. The top of the line home in 1920 cost $4,300. By 1940, when Sears discontinued the homes, there were still plenty of homes to be had for under $2,000.

• In 1989, Walmart grabbed the title of America’s largest retailer. In 1993, the famous Sears catalog was discontinued due to sinking profits. In 2004, Sears was purchased by K-Mart and the company became Sears Holdings. It remains the twelfth-largest retailer in America.
